PHILEREME. 
Philereme, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 330 (1816) ; Packard, in Report of the U.S. Geol. 
Survey of the Territ. x. p. 174, t. 1. fig. 13 (neuration). 
Very closely allied to the preceding genus, Phibalapteryx. 
1. Philereme albosignata. 
Scotosia albosignata, Pack. Fifth Ann. Rep. Peab. Acad. Sci. p. 61°. 
Philereme albosignata, Pack. in Report of the U.S. Geol. Survey ofthe Territ.x. p. 174, t. 9. fig. 14’. 
Hab. Norta America, Southern States! ?.—Mxexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus).— 
‘Bermopa I.? 
One specimen. 
2. Philereme californiata. 
Scotosia californiata, Pack. Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist. xiit. p. 899"; xvi. p. 40, t. 1. fig. 127. 
Philereme californiata, Pack. in Report of the U.S. Geol. Survey of the Territ. x. p. 175, t. 9. fig. 15 °. 
Hab. Nortu America, California ! 3, Sanzalito3.—Muexico, Rinconada in Vera Cruz 
(coll. Schaus). 
One specimen, very similar to Packard’s figures 2°. 
SCOTOSIA. 
Scotosia, Stephens, Ilustr. Brit. Ent., Haust. iii. p. 259 (1829). 
‘This genus is represented in our region by one species, which has an exceedingly 
wide range. Scotosia can at once be distinguished from the allied genera by the silky 
tuft of hair on the inner margin of secondaries in the males. | 
1. Scotosia affirmata. 
Scotosia affirmata, Guen. Sp. gén. des Lép. x. p. 447, Phalén. t. 9. fig. 21°; Walk. Cat. xxv. 
p-. 1848’; Snell. Tijdschr. voor Ent. xvii. p. 93°; Feld. & Rogenh. Reise der Novara, Lep. 
t. 13]. fig. 37 
Scotosia dubiferata, Walk. Cat. xxv. p. 1349 *. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Riimeli), Jalapa (coll. Schaus, M. Trujitio), Coatepec (Brooks) ; 
GuatemaLa (Conradt, in mus. Staudinger), San Gerénimo and Purula in Vera Paz, 
Zapote, Pantaleon (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, in mus. D.; fibbe, in mus. 
Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion).—CotomBiA, Bogota 345; 
Ecuapor; Peru; Braziu!2, Rio Janeiro; ARGENTINE REPUBLIC. 
The specimen figured by Felder and Rogenhofer * does not quite agree with Walker’ S 
type of S. dubiferata, but is certainly inseparable from S. affirmata, Guen. I very 
much doubt if the var. bicolor, Feld. & Rogenh. (op. cit. t. 131. fig. 38), from Colombia 
and Brazil, is conspecific with it.
